Eurocube: size, characteristics and methods of use on the site


Large plastic containers, called Eurocubes, can be found in almost every enterprise.
This is understandable, because more practical containers for all kinds of liquid and bulk substances do not exist today. But these tanks also came in handy in households. Here they are successfully transformed into septic tanks and storage tanks for home plumbing or irrigation. From this article you will learn what dimensions the Eurocube has and what types of these products are produced by manufacturers.

Purpose and appearance

A reusable cargo container, Eurocube, is used in industry as a convenient container for the safe storage and transportation of large volumes of bulk and liquid substances. The range of goods is wide. It includes chemicals: acids, alkalis, industrial oils, fuel (except gasoline). The container is also suitable for food products (liquid, bulk, pasty).

Eurocube (IBC, Intermediate Bulk Container) consists of the following parts:

  • Welded frame made of galvanized steel. The lathing protects the internal container and evenly distributes the load during transportation. It is made from rolled products of various types: rods of different sections, tubes with a round or square profile.
  • Internal capacity (flask, bottle) with a volume from 640 to 1200 l. Made from high quality polyethylene, durable and resistant to aggressive environments. At the top there is a sealed cover with a screw connection for fastening to the main part. In addition to the filler neck, there is a drain valve.

  • Pallet. Made from heat-treated wood, steel-reinforced plastic or steel, attached to the rest of the structure with screws. Thanks to the pallet and cubic shape, the container is easy to move with a forklift.

Cubic corrugated containers

This is the name of another very cheap and convenient type of container made from 10-layer corrugated cardboard.
It can be used for transporting or storing non-food products - bulk and liquid.

The corrugated container is installed on a pallet and is equipped with a polyethylene cover that protects the cardboard from moisture.

Inside the box there is a replaceable liner made of paper or 4-layer polyethylene with loading and drain valves with a diameter of 50 mm (DN50).

After unloading, the liner should be replaced with a new one, but the corrugated container itself can be reused many times. Exceptions include long-distance transportation: in this case, cardboard containers are most often used as disposable containers.

Compared to a Eurocube, a corrugated container has a number of advantages:

  1. Low price compared to plastic.
  2. Due to the use of a new liner for each loading, even in a used container, the transported product is always in sterile conditions.
  3. An empty corrugated container can be folded, and its volume will decrease by 5 times. So, if when assembled the tank is a cube with dimensions 1084x1084x1000 mm, then when folded it takes the form of a flat briquette with dimensions 2160x1000x100 mm. The assembly/disassembly operation of the product can be completed by one person within 5 minutes.

The main disadvantage of corrugated containers is that they cannot be placed in open areas in wet weather. It should also be taken into account that the weight is slightly larger than that of the Eurocube - 40 kg.

To install an autonomous sewer system in a country house, it is necessary to install a septic tank. Septic tank Mole - design features, technical characteristics, as well as prices for some models.

Characteristics

Manufacturers produce cubic containers with slightly different characteristics (dimensions, polymer composition), depending on the place of intended use. The plastic containers themselves are produced using two technologies and differ in the following indicators:

  • Blowing technology. In this way, a product with walls 1.5-2 mm thick and light weight (17-20 kg) is obtained from multilayer high-density polyethylene (HDPE-polyethylene). Durable and chemically inert containers are used for storing and transporting food products (fruit and vegetable concentrates, paste mixtures, honey).
  • Rotational formation method. The raw material is LLDPE polyethylene (low density). The resulting container with walls 5-6 mm thick weighs 26-35 kg. The products are designed to operate for 10 years.

Most of the produced Eurocubes are white (matte or transparent) in color. Less common are containers in black, blue, gray or orange. In private households, products with the following parameters are common:

  • Eurocube size in lathing: 1200x1160x1000 mm (+/- 10 mm)
  • The volume of the flask is 1000 l. As a rule, the cube has a measuring scale that allows you to determine the remaining contents.
  • The flask material is polyethylene. Wall thickness, depending on the specification, is 1.5-2 mm. The diameter of the neck and the drain are different.
  • Operating temperature ranges from -40 to +40°C.
  • Weight: 53 kg (+/- 10 kg for different modifications).
  • Natural color of polyethylene: white.

During transportation of certain substances (for example, resins, paints, chemical liquids), a coating forms on the inner surface of the container, which gives the plastic a yellowish or brown tint. Such used containers cannot be used for collecting and storing water that will be used for household needs, especially for irrigation.

Overview of species

Most often, the cubic capacity purchased for industrial purposes is designed for 1000 liters. Larger tanks are needed only occasionally, and only for some specific needs. Thousand-liter barrels for dachas are used only in isolated cases when a substantial supply of water is needed due to interruptions in the water supply or its complete absence. All dimensions and other characteristics of Euro tanks are clearly standardized, and even if they are not directly indicated in the standard, manufacturers are always required to indicate general parameters directly on the containers they produce. 1000 l capacity:

  • reaches 1190-1210 mm in length;
  • the width is 990-1010 mm;
  • height is 1150-1170 mm;
  • may exceed the declared volume of up to 50 liters (which is quite acceptable for this type of product);
  • weighs from 43 to 63 kg.

The container material is folded in 2–6 layers

It is important that we are always talking about low-density polyethylene (or, as professionals also say, high density). In foreign markings and foreign technical literature it is designated by the abbreviation HDPE

The default wall thickness ranges from 1.5 to 2 mm. The thicker the plastic tank, of course, the greater its weight for the same volume. Sometimes the difference reaches tens of kilograms, so this circumstance should not be neglected.

The difference may relate to the design of the pallet:

  • made of wood (with special heat treatment);
  • made of solid plastic (with steel reinforcement);
  • mixed (steel and plastic);
  • pure steel container.

The completeness of the Eurocube delivery is also important:

  • drain taps;
  • sealing gaskets;
  • covers;
  • branded adapters.

Additionally, Euro tanks are distinguished by:

  • degree of UV protection;
  • the presence of antistatic protection;
  • use of a gas barrier;
  • filler neck dimensions;
  • internal color of the tank;
  • drain tap size;
  • the presence of excess pressure valves in the lid;
  • type of sheathing (if any).

A food Eurocube with a volume of 500 liters usually reaches a width of 70 cm. With a depth of 153 cm, the typical height of this product is 81 cm. The cross-section of the neck is most often 35 cm. Basically, such containers have a horizontal working position, but there are exceptions - this point should be specified . In most cases, the storage temperature of Eurocubes (not the temperature of use!) ranges from –20 to +70 degrees.

The WERIT eurotank also deserves attention, the main parameters of which are:

  • capacity 600 l;
  • plunger type pour valve, DN80 format;
  • three-inch thrust thread;
  • six-inch filler neck;
  • plastic tray;
  • lathing based on galvanized steel;
  • size 80x120x101.3 cm;
  • weight 47 kg.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantages of polyethylene containers are their strength and relatively long service life while maintaining their characteristics. It is this combination of characteristics that has become the reason for the popularity of the container among private buyers purchasing a Eurocube for irrigation or other purposes. Additional advantages include the following properties:

  • The design of the flask is reliable, as it is made without seams, in accordance with stringent requirements.
  • The material is chemically inert and does not absorb odors.
  • The product is easy to use thanks to the drain fittings.
  • Production is standardized, it is easy to select components for repair work.
  • There are different versions: with UV protection, fire protection, with a gas barrier, with different types of drain valves, for the transportation of viscous materials (with a conical funnel).

Homeowners who decide to purchase a Eurocube for their dacha should be aware of the following disadvantages:

  • Used containers are not certified for drinking water.

  • Standard containers do not have UV protection; this means that the water will bloom. You will have to clean the container every few years or isolate it from sunlight (alternatively, store it indoors).
  • At low temperatures, plastic becomes very brittle.
  • The drain is often unreliable, the tap is not suitable for repair, and needs to be replaced; a significant number of fittings are not suitable for installation.

Application

Regardless of the size of the Eurocube with a pallet, the container has become the main element of a variety of applications in summer cottages and farms. Since used containers are often purchased for personal use, it is recommended to choose containers that have not been used for transporting chemicals and have been washed under pressure. In any case, you should discard plastic that has changed color after use. The container that was used for transporting food products can be easily identified by the following characteristics:

  • The filler hole is located at the top, and the drain valve has a green tint.

  • On the body there is a “glass-fork” marking, enclosed in a square. This mark indicates that the plastic is suitable for contact with food products. If the sign is crossed out or is simply not there, the plastic is dangerous for food.
  • Marking in the form of the number 2 enclosed in a triangle. It is a high-density, low-density polyethylene (HDPE) material that can come into contact with food; the material is safe for reuse on the farm.

Dimensions

Eurocubes are sold together with pallets. Without them, it is difficult to ensure the stability of the container. And the metal “edging” can rust from contact with the soil.

4 of pallets :

  1. Wooden.
  2. Metal.
  3. Plastic.
  4. Combined (metal + plastic).

The average height of the stand is 140 mm. We will add this value to the original parameters.

Typical characteristics of containers together with pallets are as follows:

Height, mmWidth, mmLength, mmVolume, lWeight, kg

130810001200100061
134010001160100065
134010001350125068

Some manufacturers make IBC containers to individual sizes.

Rainwater storage

Rainwater collection is a common practice in country and country life. In terms of quality, this will be industrial water, which cannot be used for cooking. But it is used for watering the garden or for household needs, for example, washing a car. A volumetric storage tank successfully replaces a barrel, as it is more practical to use. It can be additionally filled with water and watered at any convenient time, without waiting for heavy downpours.

The method of installing a Eurocube in a dacha for irrigation depends on how the storage tank will be used. If the storage cube provides for the collection of rainwater, it is located under the drainpipe. A water collection container is a simple structure of one or two cubes connected to each other. The irrigation hose is connected to the drain valve at the bottom.

What can be filled

The Eurocube is easy to adapt not only for watering beds. Initially, the containers were intended for storing food ingredients and chemical reagents. Therefore, nothing prevents you from pouring acid or alcohol into the “canister”. But the applicability depends on the material from which the drain valve is made. Details in the table:

The table is easy to use. Let's say we need to “fill” nitric acid into the Eurocube. Let's look at the drain valve. Ball with red handle made of EPDM - ethylene-propylene rubber? Doesn't fit. But if the plunger valve is made of FKM - fluoride rubber, then everything is fine. Note that NBR is nitrile butadiene rubber.

In winter, it is better to drain the contents if they are susceptible to freezing. The flask may crack due to expansion.

Water storage for watering the garden

Before starting work, it is necessary to determine how much water is needed to ensure high-quality irrigation. It is believed that in central Russia, about 30 liters of water need to be poured per square meter of area. This number is multiplied by the area of ​​the vegetable garden (orchard, flower garden) and the required volume is obtained. On average, to water dacha properties you need from one and a half to three cubic meters, or two or three standard (medium) tanks.

If you want to organize watering from a Eurocube by gravity, the container must be installed on a hill, which will require a capital foundation. The pressure of such a device is enough to organize a drip irrigation system that uses water economically.

If you regulate the water pressure in the system with a pump, the cube can be left standing on the ground. In this case, when choosing a container, pay attention to options with a plastic or metal tray. If you do not plan to use a pump, a foundation for a Eurocube for water is required, even if you want to limit the volume to 1000 liters. A reinforced concrete slab will serve as a solid base.

In order for the irrigation system to function properly, the plastic container must be raised to a height of at least 1.8-2 m. To do this, construct a stand from a metal frame with the following parameters:

  • Material. For supports, use a steel pipe (diameter 50 mm); To install the platform you will need a 40x40 mm corner.
  • Dimensions. Determined by the size of the watering container.
  • Method. The structural parts are assembled using bolts or welding.
  • Sustainability. In order for the structure to be reliable, it must be strengthened. To do this, steel miters and corners are additionally placed at the places where the parts are joined.

Installation of the Eurocube at a height is carried out after the structure is assembled in the desired position on the foundation. The cube can first be protected from light so that the water does not start to bloom: wrap it in black film or paint it black. The system is assembled in the following order:

  • The Eurocube, installed at a given height, is connected to a float valve (optionally, to the filler fitting). This will help avoid overfilling the container.
  • Through an adapter, an external water supply system is connected to the tank tap: a system of plastic pipes.
  • If you plan to install a pump, an above ground option will be more practical. It is also connected before the container is filled.

When the system is assembled, all that remains is to fill the cube with water. To start a system organized by gravity, just open the tap.

Dimensions

There are two main types of Eurocubes: standard and non-standard.

Standard

At almost every manufacturing enterprise you can find a Eurocube or, as it is officially called according to documents and standards, a plastic container (IBC container). Such containers are suitable for both liquids and bulk substances; but it was precisely its widespread distribution that led to a clear standardization of the sizes of such structures. In Russia it is customary to produce and use Eurocubes of size:

  • 1.2 m in length;
  • 1 m in width;
  • 1.16 m in height.

In this case, a deviation on each face of the structure is allowed in the amount of no more than 1 cm. Therefore, the main parameters of the products are very rigidly typed. Their characteristics are selected taking into account customer requirements and practical experience over a long time.

The same standard parameters are typical for containers produced in the CIS countries and on the territory of the EU states. Actually, that’s why they are interchangeable with each other. But manufacturers and engineers in the USA, as is usually the case, decided to take a special path, not the same as in the Old World. That’s why the typical external dimensions of cubic tanks are different. Its volume there is usually 1250 liters, and some individual manufacturers even show originality.

They started producing cubes that differed even from their own American standard. There are numerous options for 820 and 640 liters. Of course, in this case the parameters are also different. And they must be specified when ordering and using - always separately

And special attention should now be paid to non-standard products

Non-standard

It is worth considering that both standard and non-standard barrel sizes are always given without taking into account the pallet. We must not forget about its additional dimensions when organizing storage and transportation. Non-standard parameters will have to be negotiated with specific suppliers. Alas, there are still no general publications on this topic.

Pool

If you already have a Eurocube for irrigation at your dacha, you can go further along the path of increasing the comfort of life and make a pool (jacuzzi or bathhouse). The manufacturing technology is simple and straightforward, and you will need the most common tools. The Eurocube as a pool has a big plus - a drain neck. When you want to add fresh water, you can use the used water for irrigation. For work you will need the following tools and materials:

  • Eurocube, volume not less than 800 liters.
  • Boards (slats) 20x30 mm. They must be treated with a protective impregnation and painted to protect them from rotting.
  • Self-tapping screws for wood and metal, screwdriver.
  • Jigsaw, grinder with abrasive disc, grinder. You will also need a clamp and a marker.

First, you need to remove the plastic container from the crate and cut off the top row of tubes above the horizontal trim using a grinder. The harness must be preserved: the wooden sheathing will be attached to it in the future. Next, the manufacture of the pool proceeds according to the following plan:

  • The plastic is inserted into the shortened sheathing, and a cutting line is drawn along the perimeter with a marker.

Tools and materials

It’s worth mentioning right away that the manufacture of stands for a Eurocube from timber is absolutely not covered anywhere. All information at least approximately suitable for this relates to the arrangement of tanks and tanks of other types, and most often - ordinary barrels. Therefore, all the drawings will not have to be copied in finished form (they simply do not exist), but rather worked out independently.

It is recommended to use oak and pine wood as a basis, as they are distinguished by the highest strength and convenience. The reliability of such breeds is also not questioned. To work you will need:

  • timber in an independently calculated quantity (sometimes it is replaced with logs with a cross-section of 200-250 mm);
  • antiseptic and devices for its application;
  • nails and other hardware;
  • channel or corner;
  • hammer;
  • drill;
  • weatherproof paint or enamel;
  • paint brush;
  • hand saw;
  • plane;
  • crushed stone (for filling holes);
  • shovel.

Technology

When arranging a wooden support for a Eurotank with your own hands, you must take into account that the container, plus the support, plus water weighs quite significantly. Therefore, the overall assembly may sink into soft soil over time. Lining with thick metal plates or reinforced concrete lintels helps to avoid this. They guarantee optimal load distribution and high quality of the entire structure. There is no particular point in equipping a buried foundation - unless the tank capacity exceeds 3000 liters.

According to a pre-drawn drawing, parts of the frame are knocked together or screwed to each other. It is advisable to use nails of at least medium thickness. When using other hardware, it is necessary to pre-drill sockets for them. Excess parts of timber or logs are sawed off.

Summer shower

Most summer cottages do not have running water, so a summer shower made from a Eurocube will significantly increase the comfort of life, especially while working in the garden. The principle of arrangement is no different from how to install a Eurocube at a dacha for irrigation: the Eurocube is placed on a metal structure and filled with water.

A 1000 liter container is sufficient for summer life. The plastic container can be covered with black film or painted black; this will help the water heat up faster. When organizing a summer shower from Euro containers, the following points are important:

  • The design of the pedestal must be strong and stable, because a cubic meter of water weighs a ton. It is important to remember that the higher the structure, the more difficult it is to provide it with the necessary rigidity and operational safety.


Cabin for a summer shower Source stroy-podskazka.ru

  • The inner walls of the plastic will silt over time. The silting process is inevitable, so the container will have to be cleaned every few years. Most likely, the tank will have to be removed, and the higher it is, the more difficult it is to do this.

The optimal height is considered to be 2-2.5 m from the drain tap. This will provide sufficient pressure for convenient use and at the same time will not cause unnecessary problems during operation.

What is it and where is it used?

Eurocube with lathing is a special container, which, of course, has a cubic shape

It is important that in most cases such containers are made of loose polyethylene. But the polymer is not very reliable or durable, and this has been a serious problem for a long time.

The solution was found precisely in framing the cubic containers with a lathing made of metal.

In addition to this sheathing, the pallet plays an important safety role. It is made not only from metal - there are also wooden and plastic structures. The flask has a special neck on top. Its cross-section is not too large (there is an option with a flask of about 150 mm), but this is usually enough to get the job done. The typical capacity of a Eurocube is about 1000 liters (with an error permissible according to the established standard). Such a container for water and other bulk products is convenient both for storage and for transportation by rail.

Often cubic tanks are placed on top of each other. Usually, during transportation and storage, they are arranged in rows of 4 pieces. It is this composition that has proven itself to be the best over the years of use.

The main areas of application of Eurocubes have traditionally been:

  • organization of mini-gas stations;
  • storage and transportation of various liquids, bulk products;
  • organization of hydroponic growing of plants;
  • preparation of improvised Jacuzzis and showers;
  • rainwater collection;
  • arrangement of septic tanks;
  • watering vegetable gardens and orchards (as a replacement for both stationary barrels and mobile irrigation systems).

Construction of a septic tank

The size of the Eurocube pallet and other characteristics allow the container to be used for organizing a septic tank in a summer cottage or suburban area. This solution is becoming increasingly widespread due to the following advantages:

  • The plastic container is impermeable to water, so wastewater will not get into the ground, and groundwater will not flood the septic tank.
  • The container weighs a maximum of 50-65 kg, so all installation work can be easily carried out by one or two performers, without the involvement of heavy equipment.
  • Construction takes little time, since all stages (cutting holes, installing pipes) are carried out easily and quickly.
  • High efficiency of the system and ease of maintenance, subject to compliance with installation technology.

There are disadvantages to using cubes, but knowing their nature, the negative impact can be eliminated during installation. The disadvantages include the following:

  • During frosts, the strength of the plastic decreases, which increases the risk of container destruction, so the structure needs to be insulated.
  • When the soil swells, unfilled containers are subject to a buoyancy force. To prevent the system from “floating up”, care must be taken to secure it.

Video description

About what can be made from a Eurocube in the following video:
At the next stage, they dig a pit (by themselves or invite an excavator), the size of which depends on the number and size of the selected Eurocubes. The pit is dug with a reserve so that there is a gap of 30-40 cm between the walls of the container and the soil. The depth of the pit is calculated taking into account the height of the container, the displacement of the containers relative to each other and the thickness of the cushion at the base (a layer of sand 20 cm thick).

Due to the displacement of the cubes, the bottom of the pit turns out to be at different levels. The difference in levels is chosen so that wastewater can flow by gravity, and usually it does not exceed 15-20 cm. A possible solution is when one level is made in the pit, but then the height difference is formed using a cushion of different thicknesses, which is carefully compacted.

They dig a ditch from the house to the pit and lay a drain pipe. For proper operation of the septic tank, it is advisable to lay the pipe from the house in a straight line, without turns, so that its end exactly coincides with the entrance to the first container. Additionally, you need to take care of the following things:

  • Provide drain pipes and ventilation pipes.


Scheme of organizing a septic tank from Eurocubes Source pinimg.com

  • Prepare foam or other thermal insulation to protect containers from low temperatures in winter.
  • Dig a filtration ditch. A perforated pipe is installed in it, directing the treated wastewater into the filtration field.

Then the formwork for the concrete foundation is installed (it will also have a stepped appearance) and concrete is poured with a thickness of at least 20 cm. Until the concrete mixture has hardened, anchor hooks (or rings) are installed along the edges. With their help, the septic tank will be held in the desired position, additional fasteners are a guarantee against displacement of the entire structure.

The design of the Eurocube also needs preparation: the diameter of its drain valve is too small, and the valve itself is located too low. Therefore, a drain hole that is not suitable for connecting pipes is carefully sealed. Three new openings are made in each cube: inlet, outlet and ventilation.

Installation procedure

The structure is carefully lowered into the pit and the remaining work is carried out:

  • The containers are fixed to the foundation, for which the metal structure is connected to hooks (rings) using cables. It is useful to connect the cubes together; This is easiest to do by welding reinforcement to the frames.
  • Connect all pipes.
  • The structure is insulated with polystyrene foam and reinforced with concrete. In the remaining space, you can additionally install boards, slate or corrugated sheets to protect the walls of the septic tank from soil pressure.
  • After all connections are sealed, the structure is covered with soil.

Alternative options for using the Eurocube

Installing a water cube at the dacha, using it as a swimming pool or septic tank are not all the possibilities of industrial packaging. The following common applications are:

  • Due to the chemical inertness of plastic, the container is suitable as a drinking trough for livestock and a container for storing feed. Application option: storage of fertilizers or composter. In all cases, it is enough to cut off the top of the plastic case.
  • It is also easy to turn a Eurocube into a waste collection container or into a practical firewood rack (in the latter case, a metal frame is used).
  • The cubes will come in handy if you are into aquaponics, a high-tech method of farming. With their help, they organize a connected system for growing fish (shrimp, other aquatic animals) and plants without soil. They are also suitable for a less exotic method, hydroponics (growing only plants), or for installation in a greenhouse.

Exceptions to the rules

Among the Eurocubes sold in our region, there are others in their characteristics and container sizes, you can find a black Eurocube on sale, such containers are quite rare, and accordingly they are more expensive, the advantages of black Eurocubes are that if you use it as a reservoir for water, then water blooming is excluded, since this process requires sunlight. There is an opinion that a black Eurocube warms up faster in the sun, this statement is partly true, but the black color does not give a noticeable difference from the white color of the flask, since the area of ​​the heated surface compared to the volume of the cube itself is negligible. You can also sometimes find Eurocubes of 640 liters on sale, but these are very rare specimens, the cost of which is no less than cubes of 1000 liters, so there is no point in buying such containers.

Briefly about the main thing

Eurocube is an industrial container that has become in demand among owners of private plots. This popularity is due to the variety of possibilities and high performance characteristics of the container.

If used containers are purchased for a private household, you need to pay attention to how they were used. Containers in which chemical products were transported are used to a limited extent, only for organizing a septic tank.

The scope of application of a clean used Eurocube is quite wide. It makes a convenient water storage tank for watering beds or for household needs. A neat finish will turn the cube into a swimming pool, jacuzzi or sauna font. The cube is ideal for organizing a summer shower, a composter, storing food or drinking water for animals.

If you plan to use containers for installing a septic tank, the required volume of the device is determined in advance, and a location is selected taking into account the supply of sewer pipes from the house. The containers are installed in a pit with a concrete foundation, and it is important to ensure that they are at different levels and that all joints are tight.

Scope and method of application of the Eurocube

The Eurocube is also called an IBC container, since its intended purpose is to transport liquids. both ordinary and aggressive. Plastic containers have no analogues; more convenient containers for storing and transporting bulk substances and liquids have not yet been invented.

A Eurocube with a volume of 1000 liters can be used not only for large companies, but also for ordinary people, for example, at home, but we will talk about this later. The plastic container has incredible strength and at the same time lightness; it is not damaged even by the most aggressive chemicals and successfully withstands almost any atmospheric influence. All these positive qualities were achieved thanks to the blowing method, or as it is also called - rotomolding.

It is possible to reuse the container, but you should know that if harmful chemicals were previously transported inside, it will not be possible to use it, for example, for watering a garden, since harmful substances eat into the plastic and can harm a person. If an ordinary liquid that is not harmful to humans was transported in the container, it is quite possible to rinse the container and even use it for water, but not for food, but for household needs. It is not necessary to purchase a new Eurocube, you can buy it second-hand, the price will be much lower, and the efficiency will be almost the same. Prices for new plastic containers from the manufacturer are quite high.
